Council holds executive session on proposed tort claim settlement; post-session vote not recorded in transcript
Summary
The State Finance Council recessed into executive session to consult with the attorney general's staff about a proposed tort claim settlement in the case Justin Kate Collins v. Melissa Wallach; a subsequent motion to approve the settlement was made but the transcript does not record the roll call outcome.
The State Finance Council on March 24 recessed into an executive session to consult with staff of the Attorney General about a proposed tort claim settlement in the case of Justin Kate Collins v. Melissa Wallach.
Representative Waymaster moved that the council recess for a closed executive meeting pursuant to K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(2) to consult with members of the Attorney General's staff regarding a proposed tort claim settlement under K.S.A. 75-6106; Speaker Hawkins seconded. The council approved the motion and entered executive session for an estimated 10 minutes, citing attorney-client privilege as the basis for the closed meeting.
After returning from executive session, Speaker Hawkins moved to approve a resolution for the proposed settlement in Justin Kate Collins v. Melissa Wallach; Senator (President) Masterson seconded and a roll call vote was requested. The transcript does not record the roll call results or state whether the resolution was adopted. The council adjourned after routine closing remarks.
The record in the meeting transcript shows the council complied with the statutory executive-session citation provided by the mover but does not include further details of the settlement's terms or a recorded outcome of the approval motion.
